Finding Parallels Between Ideas and Life

Schools sometimes seek to initiate new programs but lack the money to support such initiatives. This means that the amount paid by students for school fees is not sufficient to meet the need of the institution. The major limitation of depending upon school fees alone as the source of income is that the school cannot change school fees structure without consultation with all the stakeholders which will take a very long time.
